I bought my TRD Off Road Toyota Tacoma from Gary Frederick, while still assigned in Japan. I used USAA’s True Car buying service to find the vehicle. Gary Frederick and his team were professional an Frederick, while still assigned in Japan. I used USAA’s True Car buying service to find the vehicle. Gary Frederick and his team were professional and prompt. Despite sub-freezing temperatures Mr. Frederick did not hesitate to immediately create a customized video detailing features we had discussed. I had contacted several dealers prior to Smart Motors and all of them did not consider me a serious customer. Gary did. Approximately three days later we had a deal done. It was painless and I felt like I was Mr Frederick’s only customer despite I know I was not. I’d drive the three days from WA for the value and service Mr. Frederick abd Smart Toyota provides. More
Updated Experience Update: After I declined offers of a lease termination penalty (~$5K) and higher cost replacement vehicle (~$1K) on Nov. 23, the Smart Motors sales t Update: After I declined offers of a lease termination penalty (~$5K) and higher cost replacement vehicle (~$1K) on Nov. 23, the Smart Motors sales team acknowledged my concerns and offered to swap out the vehicle at no additional cost on November 26. The sales manager communicated with me frequently to provide updates until I received the new car December 4, which is currently in good working condition. I have confidence in the maintenance teams who diagnosed the initial problem and am grateful their expertise identified the root cause of the wiper malfunction. Original: Do not trust Toyota vehicles or the sales team - you may get stuck with paying full price on a defective, fire hazard of a vehicle. I leased a new 2020 Rav4 LTE Hybrid on November 11. On November 17 and 18, the wipers malfunctioned and the car had to go back for service. The service team found a hole in the metal of the car that shouldn't have been there that was funneling water into the electrical components of the wipers. After finding that defect, they determined the fuel line may also have been involved, so the vehicle remains in the shop. The sales manager said "defects happen" and " they are fixing it" when I said that I no longer felt safe in this car and felt lied to during the sales process in which he told me multiple times that the car would never need to be in service except for routine oil changes unless I damaged it. Now, they have not offered to make this right in any way - apparently, I have to still pay the full amount and continue leasing the defective car (that the service and sales department acknowledged could still be defective) unless I want to pay early lease termination penalties. I feel like my physical and mental safety are in danger as a result of their defective vehicle and lack of any appropriate response to my concerns. More
